August 10, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 08:09 am IST - Tirupur:

Frequent law and order issues witnessed in the recent times over the disputed 1.7-acre land belonging to the historic Arulmigu Avinashilingeswarar temple at Avinashi and the conduct of temple festivals on the said land are all set to die down soon.

The Madras High Court has ordered the Revenue Divisional Officer (Tirupur) and Tahsildhar (Avinashi) to settle the issues arisen following difference of opinions between temple authorities and a community sabha over the rights on the land, within a period of 10 weeks.

The court directed the officials to pass orders after sorting out the issues to ensure that law and order issues did not crop up again.
